I don't really see the point of this. It's just adding complexity for the sake of it. As far as I can tell when you change gear it just changes some software parameters, there are no physical gears. Yet there's a clutch and the ability to stall?

"the sport of driving" as a phrase has a different meaning than the "sport driving" meaning you were mudding it with. It was obvious to everyone else, except you and whichever other trigger-happy Karen is addicted to getting on a high horse on the internet over the issue you brought up. That's why the name-calling is there, Mr. or Mrs. Reading Incomprehension.
